[0024] Example
[0025] A general-purpose external filtration and purification system for engine exhaust gases, such as Figures 1 to 4As shown, the system includes a mixing chamber 9, a cooling chamber 8, a filter module, a heating element 10, a fan 16, a bypass pipe 13, and a control system. One end of the filter module is connected to the cooling chamber 8, and the other end of the filter module is connected to the mixing chamber 9. A heating element 10 is installed between the filter module and the mixing chamber 9. A bypass pipe 13 is also connected between the mixing chamber 9 and the cooling chamber 8. The fan 16 is connected to the mixing chamber 9. An air inlet pipe 6 is installed on the side of the mixing chamber 9, and an air outlet pipe 7 is installed on the side of the cooling chamber 8. The filter module includes a catalyst carrier 11 and a particulate trap 12. One end of the catalyst carrier 11 is connected to the heating element 10, and the other end of the catalyst carrier 11 is connected to one end of the particulate trap 12. The other end of the particulate trap 12 is connected to the cooling chamber 8. The control system includes a control box, a controller 35, a pressure sensor, and a temperature sensor. The controller 35 is installed on the control box. The pressure sensor is connected to the mixing chamber 9, and the temperature sensor is connected to the filter module. The pressure sensor, temperature sensor, fan 16, and heating element 10 are all electrically connected to the controller 35. The bypass pipe 13 is equipped with a bypass solenoid valve 14, and the fan 16 is equipped with a fan solenoid valve 17. Both the bypass solenoid valve 14 and the fan solenoid valve 17 are electrically connected to the controller 35.
[0026] Specifically, the universal engine exhaust external filtration and purification system in this embodiment is suitable for enclosed locations such as equipment repair workshops and rear warehouses. Engine exhaust gas is input into the system's intake pipe 6 via a flue, first entering a mixing chamber 9. Simultaneously, a fan 16 supplies air into the mixing chamber 9 to mix with the exhaust gas, reducing its concentration. The mixed exhaust gas is then evenly delivered to the filtration module for filtration. Specifically, the filtration module employs a two-stage purification method: a Diesel Oxidation Catalyst (DOC) and a Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF). The purified exhaust gas is then delivered to a cooling chamber 8 for cooling and finally discharged from the exhaust port. A pressure sensor is also included to detect engine back pressure, and a temperature sensor is used to detect temperature. A controller 35 controls the solenoid valves, fan 16, and heating element 10.
[0027] Preferably, the filtration and purification system further includes a housing 1, and the mixing chamber 9, cooling chamber 8, filter module, heating tube 10, fan 16, and bypass pipe 13 are all disposed inside the housing 1. The housing 1 protects the internal devices from damage.
[0028] Preferably, the catalyst support 11 uses wall-flow honeycomb ceramic as the support, and the surface of the honeycomb pores of the wall-flow honeycomb ceramic is coated with a base metal coating and a catalyst coating. The base metal coating is a layer of alumina and cerium dioxide. The catalyst coating is noble metal particles, including elements such as platinum (Pt), palladium (Pd), and rhodium (Rh).
[0029] Specifically, wall-flow honeycomb ceramic filters are high-performance filter carriers. These filters have numerous honeycomb pores. In two adjacent channels, one is blocked at the inlet and the other at the outlet. Exhaust gas enters through one open channel, must pass through the channel wall into the adjacent channel, and then flow out. Thus, particulate matter (PM) in the exhaust gas is trapped inside and on the surface of the pores. They are also heat-resistant and have high mechanical strength. The honeycomb pore surface is coated with a base metal coating of alumina and cerium dioxide. The filter carrier itself serves to form an oxidation catalytic reaction bed and acts as an adhesion medium for alkali metal base coatings such as alumina and cerium dioxide. After adhesion enhancement treatment, a catalytic carrier coating (containing elements such as platinum (Pt), palladium (Pd), and rhodium (Rh)) is applied and cured. At room temperature, the filter carrier does not possess catalytic ability; it must be heated to a certain temperature to exhibit oxidation and reduction reaction capabilities. Typically, catalytic converters operate at 350℃, with a normal operating temperature of 350-400℃. When exhaust gas passes through the filter carrier, the catalyst carrier in the filter carrier will enhance the dissipation of carbon monoxide (CO), hydrocarbons (HC), and nitrogen oxides (NOx). X The reactivity of the three gases promotes certain oxidation-reduction reactions. Carbon monoxide (CO) is oxidized at high temperatures to become colorless, non-toxic carbon dioxide gas; HCl is oxidized at high temperatures to water (H₂O) and carbon dioxide (CO₂); nitrogen oxides (NO₃)... X It is reduced to nitrogen and oxygen, and the three harmful gases are transformed into harmless gases, thus purifying the engine exhaust.
[0030] Preferably, the particle trap 12 is a cartridge trap made of ceramic filter material, and its internal structure is honeycomb-shaped, which results in a large trapping geometric area, good trapping effect, and good heat resistance and mechanical durability.
[0031] Preferably, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the control box is equipped with a power cord 3, a power switch, a regeneration switch, a lock 34, a buzzer 36, and various indicator lights 33, specifically including indicator lights for power, regeneration, heating stop, DC24V power, and back pressure alarm. A fuse 4 is installed on the power cord 3. The controller 35 is equipped with a display screen 18, an alarm indicator light 19, a status indicator light 20, a bypass on button 27 and a bypass on indicator light 26, a bypass off button 25 and a bypass off indicator light 24, a manual status button 28 and a manual status indicator light 29, an automatic status button 31 and an automatic status indicator light 30, a reset button 32, an up / increase button 21, a down / decrease button 23, and a set / confirm button 22. Operators can understand the operating status of the system through the various indicator lights on the control box and controller 35, and can control and adjust the system using the buttons.
[0032] Working process and principle:
[0033] First, preheating is performed by connecting the system to 380V AC power via power cord 3 and starting the system. Heating element 10 begins heating, and fan 16 starts working, transferring the heat from heating element 10 to the filter module via fan 16 for about 5 minutes. Temperature sensor collects temperature data and transmits it to controller 35 via data acquisition unit 5. When the filter module heats up to the set threshold of 400℃, controller 35 controls the current of heating element 10 to maintain the temperature of the filter module at 400℃, thus completing the preheating.
[0034] After preheating, the exhaust gas is connected to the engine's exhaust port at one end via a high-temperature resistant corrugated flue and to the system's intake pipe 6 at the other end, delivering the engine's exhaust gas to the mixing chamber 9. The mixture of exhaust gas and air is then transported to the filter module by the fan 16. First, the harmful gases pass through the catalytic converter 11, which converts them into harmless gases, thus purifying the engine exhaust gas. Then, the particulate matter (PM) in the exhaust gas, such as soot particles, hydrocarbons, nitrogen oxides, and sulfur, is adsorbed by the particulate filter 12. Once a certain amount of solid particulate matter is collected, it is combusted.
[0035] As more and more carbon soot particles intercepted by the catalyst support 11 and particulate filter 12 clog their micropores and surfaces, the filter's airflow decreases, leading to increased engine back pressure and reduced engine performance. Therefore, it is necessary to periodically remove the deposited particulate matter to restore the filter's filtration performance. The regeneration of the catalyst support and particulate filter can be either active or passive.
[0036] To address this, the system employs both automatic and manual regeneration control modes. Active regeneration utilizes additional energy to raise the temperature within the carrier, causing the particles to ignite and burn. When the catalyst carrier 11 operates within its normal operating temperature range (350-400℃), excessive deposits can clog the particulate filter. When the temperature within the particulate filter 12 reaches above 400℃, the deposited particles are oxidized and burned off. At this point, external energy (such as an electric heating device) is needed to raise the temperature within the particulate filter, enabling the particles to burn and achieve regeneration.
[0037] (1) Automatic regeneration control
[0038] The pressure sensor is connected to the controller 35 via a signal cable.
[0039] Pressing the automatic status button 31 on the controller 35 illuminates the automatic status indicator 30, and the display screen 18 of the controller 35 shows that the system has entered automatic mode. In automatic mode, when the pressure sensor detects that the engine back pressure exceeds the set upper threshold, the controller 35 controls the current of the heating element 10 to heat the filter module to 450°C. Simultaneously, it increases the current and speed of the fan 16, increasing the airflow. This allows the oxidizing catalyst carrier 11 and the particulate filter 12 to undergo high-temperature oxidation catalysis for approximately 30 minutes, directly oxidizing and burning off the deposited carbon soot. This restores the ability of the oxidizing catalyst carrier 11 and the particulate filter 12 to capture carbon soot particles, enabling continuous regeneration of both. When the filter module has finished regenerating and the engine back pressure drops to the set lower threshold, the controller 35 controls the current of the heating element 10 and the fan 16, and the system enters the working state.
[0040] (2) Manual regeneration control
[0041] Press the manual mode button 28 on the controller 35, the manual mode indicator light 29 will light up, and the display screen 18 on the controller 35 will show that the system has entered manual mode.
[0042] When the system is in manual mode, if the pressure sensor detects that the engine back pressure is greater than the set upper threshold, the controller 35 controls the buzzer 36 on the control box to sound, and at the same time controls the bypass solenoid valve 14, which is connected to the bypass pipe valve, to open the bypass pipe 13.
[0043] The "Regeneration" knob on the control box needs to be manually turned to "On". The "Regeneration Indicator" light will illuminate, and the buzzer 36 will stop beeping. The controller 35 controls the current of the heating tube 10 to heat the filter module and maintain it at 450°C. At the same time, the current of the fan 16 is increased to increase the speed of the fan 16 and increase the air volume, so that the oxidizing catalyst carrier 11 and the particulate collector 12 directly oxidize and burn off the deposited carbon soot at high temperature under the action of high-temperature oxidation catalysis.
[0044] After this state lasts for 30 minutes, manually turn the "Regeneration" knob switch on the control box to "Off". The "Regeneration Indicator" light will turn off. Press the bypass off button 25 on the controller. The bypass solenoid valve 14 will connect to the bypass pipe valve, and the bypass pipe 13 will be closed. The system will then enter the working state.
[0045] Although the embodiments of this utility model have been described in the specification, these embodiments are merely illustrative and should not limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Various omissions, substitutions, and modifications made without departing from the spirit of this utility model should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
